Price in Pakistan
Launched in Pakistan in October 2023 in two variants, 4GB + 128GB and 6GB + 128GB. mymobile lists the 4GB + 128GB at Rs. 38,500 (urdupoint 38,499) and says the 6GB variant sits near Rs. 44,999 — whatmobile, hamariweb and mobilemall all list the 6GB + 128GB at Rs. 44,999, so those are the prices used here, both Expected. MobileDokan’s rows are for different variants: the 4GB + 64GB at Rs. 39,999 is a Bangladesh variant, not sold in Pakistan, and the 6GB + 128GB Official row at Rs. 51,999 sits 1.16× above the three-source official 44,999 — both named here but not used. The 6GB street price runs lower at some stores (34,099–34,590 on shophive and eezepc) and mobileinto lists an official 35,399 for the 6GB + 128GB, so buyers should compare listings. All prices Expected; PTA tax not yet confirmed.
4GB + 128GB — Expected: Rs. 38,999
6GB + 128GB — Expected: Rs. 44,999

| Price | PKR. 38,999 (Expected) |
| Display | 6.7″ PLS LCD, 90Hz, 1080×2400 |
| RAM | 4GB / 6GB |

Buying in Pakistan
- Check the IMEI and the exact model SM-A057F — the A05 (Helio G85, dual camera, 720p) and A06 (Helio G85, dual camera) are different phones with the same 50MP main camera.
- Confirm warranty (official Samsung Pakistan vs shop warranty).
- Confirm PTA status via DIRBS; the usual 60-day window applies.
- Make sure it is the A05s (Snapdragon 680, 1080p display, triple camera), not the A05 or A06.
- There is no NFC on the Pakistan variant (SM-A057F) — Samsung’s own spec pages for PH/LB/AU say No; GSMArena’s "Yes (market/region dependent)" refers to the European SM-A057G.
Final Verdict
A 1080p Snapdragon 680 phone at Rs. 38,999 — the pick of the three A-series budgets. The 1080p 90Hz display, Snapdragon 680 and 25W charging are a clear step up from the A04s and A06 at Rs. 38,999, and the 6GB + 128GB at Rs. 44,999 is the better long-term buy. Its weakest points are the 2MP macro and depth lenses that add almost nothing, the 13MP selfie camera, and no NFC or 5G. The trap is the name — the A05 and A06 look nearly identical and share the 50MP main camera, so check model SM-A057F and the 1080p display before paying.
